It is a question worth asking. An alien arriving from another planet
might think Trump had just announced he was planning to rain down bombs on
these countries for years. (Thus confusing Trump with his predecessor.) Such country-specific migration blocks are nothing new, and have been
a favorite of Democrat presidents from Obama to Carter to old FDR
himself. Yet our current hysteria continues unabated.

Today's progressive has the deck stacked against him
from the start. As we saw in When
Progressives Get Religion, his belief in Anti-Racism /
Multiculturalism has metastasized into a religious faith. He is overwhelmed by the
desire to preach, confess, show his piety, and fight heresy, and no amount of
fact or logic can sway him from this dogma. But why?

In Why
Do Progressives Get Religion?, we explore the causes of this curious
state of affairs. To sum up, all
ethnic NW Euros' out-group empathy has ballooned over the last few hundred
years. But the born leftist, because of his wiring, is especially easy prey for the siren song of Equalitarianism. In the linked piece, we explore the
biological and cultural forces driving the
modern leftist Multiculturalist. We hope you may find it illuminating in the current hubbub.

2) Since when are Muslim
immigrants considered essential to the very character of America?

'The world’s religions are a part of the
very fabric of the United States':

For most Americans,
since never. Immigration from Muslim lands into the U.S. was all but inexistent
for most of the country's history. From the Washington
Post:

Long before 9/11 and the
war on terrorism, U.S. courts painted Islam as more than merely a foreign
religion, but rather as a rival ideology and “enemy race.” In a notable 1891 case, the Supreme Court highlighted “the intense hostility
of the people of Moslem faith to all other sects, and particularly to
Christians.”

Scores of Muslim
immigrants were turned away at U.S. ports in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries. Christian immigrants suspected of secretly being Muslims were also
excluded.

... Ahmed Hassan — a native of Yemen and the first Arab Muslim to apply
for citizenship — was denied naturalization in 1942, because, a court said: “It
cannot be expected that as a class they [meaning Arabs, a term used
synonymously with Muslims at the time] would readily intermarry with our
population and be assimilated into our civilization.”

Ted Kennedy et al's 1965 Immigration Act opened the doors wide to this
population for the first time. From a trickle back then, we are up to over 3
million legal Muslim residents today, most of whom have arrived since the Clinton era,
with nearly a million admitted under Obama alone. Put another way, there are more Muslims living
in the U.S. today than there were total American citizens in 1790.

If the data from Europe is anything
to go by, then probably not. In the U.S., we have a tiny percentage of Muslims
in our population (less than 1%). But in our
homeland of Western Europe, the numbers are much higher.

The data have shown again
and again that these Muslims are deeply uncomfortable in Europe, and that as
their numbers grow, they are slowly trying to change the very fabric of the societies
to which they are thought to be 'assimilating.'

If they are the same 'Middle
Eastern' 'refugees' as those flooding into Europe, then the answer, unfortunately, is often yes. In Crashing
the Gates: A Crash Course, we peeked behind the curtain at some hard
data from local news sources about this flood of 'refugees' and the havoc they have wrought in Germany,
France, Italy, and beyond. We invite you to take a look if you missed it the
first time.

Limiting immigration is, in fact, as
American as apple pie. From 'securing
the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity' in the preamble to the
Constitution, to the first citizenship
law limited to 'free white persons of good character' (1790), America's
founders saw us as a colony of, by, and for Anglo-Germanic Christians.

As we saw in Were
You Assimilable?, the type of immigrant Emma Lazarus gushed about
in her Statue of Liberty poem was, in fact, anomalous and wildly unpopular. The
'wretched refuse of your teeming shores' turned out to be nearly indigestible
to the American body politic. This led to an immense public backlash that shut down
non-northwest-European immigration almost completely after 1921.
(The Chinese had been locked out since 1882.)

Our historically challenged Meryl Streeps and Bruce Springsteens might
be reminded that the decision to turn America into the 'It's a Small World'
ride at Disneyland was only taken recently--and
quite by accident. Ted Kennedy swore in the Senate floor debate in 1965 that

'Our cities will not be flooded
with a million immigrants annually[1.5
mill per year and counting]… the ethnic mix of this country will
not be upset [over 50% of
babies born today are non-white].'

We re-post these pieces
in the sincere hope that those wading through all the noise seeking some hard
facts will find them here. Please
bookmark anything you may find of interest and share it liberally. There is no
stronger antidote for the fog of hysteria than a tonic teaspoon or two of cold,
hard data.

Polarization is rising. People are losing any pretense of objectivity or open-mindedness, just as predicted by the Socionomic Hypothesis. Cold hard facts have absolutely no ability to penetrate the armored sphere that surrounds people's normal attachment to biases and premises.

These biases exist in their limbic system, and they are calling the shots. This is why a period of pathological trust and openness will inevitably be followed by a swing to its polar opposite, and the geographic shuffling together of various suits (races, ethnicities, religions, etc.) during the former will provide a target-rich environment during the latter.

Complaining about something that is this natural seems silly, so I try to avoid it.

FWIW I'm seeing this pants-soiling among Christian evangelicals in the American South as well. E.g., Baptists in Virginia are tearing their hair out over Trump = Hitler because the temporary moratorium while enhancing vetting is the same as 900 Jews on a boat sent back to the ovens.

Regarding the Ted Kennedy quote, I believe Hart-Cellar didn't actually increase immigration, certainly not anywhere close to a million annually, rather it was several later acts of Congress, the last signed by George H.W. Bush that gradually raised the annual legal limit to one million.

From whence comes this sudden liberal infatuation with the Constitution? There was none of this protest you see over "immigrants" when the government was trampling much of the Bill of Rights with the War on Drugs or Patriot Act. Nor do I see liberals protesting the suppression of free speech on campuses via speech codes and mob violence. Come to think of it, how much protest was there over the TSA grope-a-thon at the airports?

But the rights of Americans citizens count for little among liberal elites. If anything, the mass migration of Third Worlders into White countries is useful as a means to bring down the White middle class.

Our historically challenged Meryl Streeps and Bruce Springsteens might be reminded that the decision to turn America into the 'It's a Small World' ride at Disneyland was only taken recently--and quite by accident.

Good one about It's a Small World. Of course, if one were to be a Hollywood celeb, one's contact with Third Worlders is either other high powered movie people, or one's servants. They are not competing for jobs, university admissions and space on public transit with an imported and assimilable underclass. So they can entertain their delusion that they are creating a brave new E Ticket world.

But sooner or later it will catch up with them. Gated communities, private schools for one's own children, and limousines will be submerged in the Third World tide. The dilemma is that they are dragging down the rest of us with them.

You know I have been in Paris for a while, am here right now actually.

I've been pretty business but mostly pretty fucking freaked out by the state of things what with Pizzagate then Mandela and how summer 2017 the "summer of unrest" ?

Would love to hear from you I know we've communicated in the past pretty directly can't quite remember how. I have been neglecting crimes of duh times dot calm for a while now - like I said busy, and freaked.

Hope you're well, contact me if possible.

PS : What happened to Jay, he of jewamongyou? Why is he not posting anymore? Do you know? He used to post on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Miss the guy.
